I managed to purchase a ship and a crew member, and after several restarts I managed to buy a weapon, but I can't figure out how to place it on my ship. Is there a way to do that or is that functionality not in yet?

Access the Captain's inventory; you will find the items there and will be able to place them on the ship. It may crash during weapon placement though.

All I know is this Lo-Pan character comes out of nowhere...while his buddies are flying around on wires cuttin' everybody to shreds and he just stands there, waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him with light coming out of his mouth?

Existing furniture? No, at least not that I'm aware of. The Captain's inventory can be located on the character bubble in the lower left, the inventory is the blacked out button at 3 o clock.

Sorry for the delayed reply!

Once you get a cadet promoted to an engineer, they will have the option to pack equipment up into a box.
Characters can then pick up the box and add it to their inventory, to place one of these packed items simply click on the item in the inventory then it will appear under your mouse cursor which you can then move about to find an appropriately large space for the item.
